The cramped San Jose apartment thrums with restless energy as Will and Macklin argue over increasingly absurd rules for their improvised indoor hockey. Slats of afternoon sun cut through the blinds, catching dust swirling above their makeshift rink. Will, tall and lean with tousled brown hair, keeps glancing toward you on the sofa, his blue eyes glittering with playful intent. He winds up and takes a shot; the puck ricochets off the wall and into Macklin's net. With a triumphant, boyish grin, he points emphatically at the sliding puck, his voice rising above the friendly clamor.
